Hi Joanne, John McNally & Margaret Gibbons McNally were in Meshoppen, Wyoming County, PA in 1852, where their 3rd daughter Ellen was born (my great grandmother). At some point John McNally had died because Margaret remarried, this time to Patrick Geraghty in 1858 at the St Peters Cathedral in Scranton, and then lived in Lackawanna Township / Minooka. Let me know if any of these places are close to your Gibbons.

This is a longshot, but do you have more information on the Gibbons? I am trying to find more information on my 2nd great grandmother, Margaret Gibbon born in about 1822, parents were Thomas Gibbons and Jennie Connolly. I know that Margaret Gibbons married John McNally, probably around 1845 and had two children: Bridget (b. 1846) and Mary Jane (b. 1850) (which makes me think her mother was actualy Mary Jane Connolly) before emigrated to Pennsylvania in about 1851. They settled in Scranton, which had a lot of Mayo and Galway Irish at that time. Any help would be appreciated. Gibbons and McNally are fairly common, so it is tough getting a lead on them.

My Gibbons were in Chester county, also in the eastern part of the state but near Philadelphia. Not particularly close...
